Rule #1 Never appear to be "needy." Wenches will have no respect for a pirate who begs for it. Present an aloof (but fresh smelling) air. Give her the impression that you could do without her or her kind. As a show of your aloofness, kiss a fancy lad full on the mouth and let her see you do it. Nothing screams "come-hither" like the woman who thinks ye may fancy the lads a bit too much.

Rule #2 Get in touch with the comic inside you. Wenches love to laugh. Try walking into the mizzenmast while looking another direction or slipping in chum spillage. Humor is the best knicker-removal system known to man. With the right joke or anecdote, you will have her bloomers under your bunk in no time.

Rule #3 Above all, act like you've been thar before. This is not something you learn in one of them fancy schmancy "books" with the charcoal drawings. (Although, the books are more easily put away when you are done with them.) Experience is not so nearly important as the "appearance of experience."

Swashbuckler Poetry fer me heart.....

Love Piratesby Joseph Millar

I follow with my mouth the small wing of muscleunder your shoulder, lean over your back, breathinginto your hair and thinking of nothing. I wantto lie down with you under the sails of a wooden sloopand drift away from all of it, our two cars rustingin the parking lot, our families whining like tame geeseat feeding time, and all the bosses of the earthcursing the traffic in the morning haze.They will telephone each other from their sofasand glass desks, with no idea where we could be,unable to picture the dark throatof the saxophone playing upriver, or the firewe gather between us on this fantail of dusty light,having stolen a truckload of rosesand thrown them into the sea.

Your the hands down winner! I googled pirates day and went to alot of places that showed a few things here and there. I'm in Port Aransas, Texas, and my daily wifi cyber spot it at the 'Gaff', a small little beer/pizza bar where we even brought the 'Mad Cow', a trailer made up like a pirate ship, from dry dock and rode all around town shooting beads from the cannon and advertising $1 pints, but, and I repeat but, your blog was the most amusing, interesting and comprehensive blog, article or even stand alone web site that I ran across. The only thing about is is that I didn't find it yesterday, I found it today while surfing through blogs on BlogExplosion. Thanks for a great read.

I am a strong, sexy, intelligent, candid and loving woman who would do anything for her family. I am a mother of two.I have a sarcastic sense of humor,love to read and I am trying to stay positive in a difficult world.This is the place that I will use to perserve my sanity on the path that is called my life.

"Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity.It can turn a mealinto a feast, a house into a home,a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today and creates a vision for tomorrow.~Melody Beattie
